Dyson V7 Animal Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner, Purple, Medium

Product Information

On the down side, we suspect that much of that saving comes from removing the rear post-motor filter of the V6 or V8. Light, brilliantly balanced, great tools, superb suction and pet-hair cleaning capabilities that are better than even pet-specific mains-powered cleaners – the V7 Animal is a great choice for many. While most over-filled bagless bins will require you to poke about to pull out compressed furballs, the V7’s emptying system always dumps its contents cleanly – even if you run it until the bin is fit to burst. litre volume of the V8 models and emptying is achieved in the same way – namely pulling up the big red handle on top. While some cordless vacuums will comfortably suck up dust from a flat hard surface, floorboards with deep crevices often prove a lot more challenging.

A five-star score here means that nearly all of the fine dust and allergens that the vacuum cleaner picks up are locked tightly within the container and are not released back into the home. The worst will give you less than twenty minutes of power and take more than half a day to fully recharge. There are both corded and cordless models with both categories inundated with new products every year. Here, the lack of a soft roller or “Fluffy” head does hinder its performance with larger particles on hard flooring.Instead, Dyson supplies its standard full-size powered brush head for carpets and a smaller powered brush head for sofas and staircases. I wasn’t all that impressed with the regular brush head’s ability to clean right up to the edges, either, especially compared with the Dyson Light Ball Multi Floor, which is far more impressive in this regard. Close to skirting edges over hard floors, the Max suction pulls in debris from a centimetre or so out from the head too.

The old V6 also delivers 100AW on Max power for around 6 minutes, but its higher 28AW on normal power means it’s good for only 20 minutes run-time. This score shows how well each cordless vacuum cleaner picks up dust from in between the crevices that you find between traditional floorboards. Thanks to the lithium battery and Dyson’s control electronics, you get full power right up until it cuts out too. hours, either freestanding directly connected to the wall charger or sat in its excellent wall dock. The trigger makes you switch off when you’re moving between rooms, straightening the cushions or answering the door.Its stiff bristles pull pet hairs from even knotty-pile nylon carpets and its smaller form factor concentrates suction power for even better cleaning. The same cannot be said if you’re dealing with mostly thick carpet instead of hard floors and your home is larger. With practice you can easily get around a medium-sized room in that time and, having had the V6 and V8 on long-term test for many months now, we tend to default to quick clean-ups on the highest power setting.
